Hey, when is the last time you were in a CID raid, looking for un-documented workers? lol you can't find anyone to talk trash with in Chinese at those Westernized places either! i always prefer socializing in local places, even when my foreign friends visit (as you know).<BR/><BR/>check out my flickr photo album entitled "Taiwan Part" for some photos of us in those places, as well as several blog entries on the subject.MJ Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859263977094071677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1163916215821153772006-11-19T14:03:00.000+08:002006-11-19T14:03:00.000+08:00The ones I've been in have all been either Thai or...The ones I've been in have all been either Thai or Filipino. Never been in a Vietnamese one. I especially like the Filipino ones because the KTV has tons of songs in English -- last night sang Simon and Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Moody Blues at the Filipino cantina. Lotsa fun, driven by Red Horse and fueled by deep fried squid and dipping sauce. <BR/><BR/>I can't imagine where you'd find them in Taipei, perhaps where the Filipino maids gather on Sundays on Chungshan N. Road, and of course in <BR/>the factory districts in the 'burbs. <BR/><BR/>Good luck<BR/><BR/>MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1163915880417604892006-11-19T13:58:00.000+08:002006-11-19T13:58:00.000+08:00hey, the local cantina approach is an excellent su...hey, the local cantina approach is an excellent suggestion.
